•Create informative and engaging content to an audience.
Autonomy Engineer
The automation team will handle
The automation team interprets and fuses data from onboard sensors(e.g., cameras, GNSS, IMU) to build situational awareness. This enables reliable obstacle detection, route planning and robust positioning during waves and other maritime challenges.
Responsibilities:
•Ensure reliable and accurate sensor estimates
•Time-sync all data streams
•Use Sensor data to plan routes and avoid obstacles
What you will learn:
•Experience working in an interdisciplinary team
•Create high-quality content that’s both captivating and informative.
•Build your portfolio and network with potential employers.Control Station
The control station engineers job is to create and test a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows users to interact with the USV. This involves creating a centralized application where cameras, sensors and other valuable data and control options can easily be used by an operator.
Responsibility:
•Front end
•Back endWhat you will learn:
•QT
•ROS2
•TeamworkDocking Engineer
The USV docking engineer is responsible for designing, building, and testing the launch and recovery system (LARS) that allows a tethered ROV to be deployed from and recovered into the USV (unmanned surface veichle) without human intervention. The system must operate reliably in marine environments and integrate with the USV hull and other systems.
Responsibility:
•Design and develop a docking and recovery mechanism suitable for remote operation.
•Create mounting systems to securely attach the LARS to the USV hull.
•Ensure the system can deploy and retrieve the ROV safely in various sea conditions.
•Select suitable materials and components to withstand marine environments.
•Work closely with the hull, and electrical teams to ensure the systems work together.
What you will learn:
-CAD (Fusion 360)
-Mechanical design for moving systems in water.
-combining mechanical systems with sensors, controls, and the USV.
-Working with different types of engineers as a team.
Hull Engineer
The USV hull engineer is responsible for designing, building, testing and integrating the hull and mechanical systems so the vessel is structurally sound, buoyant and ready to accept electronics, ballast and propulsion.
Responsibility:
•Design hulls, ballast tanks, and internal structures with CAD and perform buoyancy, stability and other relevant calculations.
•Build and prototype using composites (fiberglass, carbon fiber), 3D printing, and finishing (molds, layup, sanding, painting).
•Integrate thrusters, mounts, support sea trials, troubleshooting and system integration with other teams.
What you will learn:
•CAD (Fusion 360) and how to turn 3D models into parts that can be manufactured.•Buoyancy, stability and centre-of-gravity trade-offs and how they effect the hull.•Composite fabrication (fiberglass, carbon fiber), 3D printing and prototyping/finishing.•How to integrate propulsion and electronics into the hull by working together with other teams.
Vision Engineer
The USV vision engineers main responsibility is to incorporate computer vision software in order to detect and locate various objects typically seen in nautical environments such as: boats, & buoys.
Responsibility:
•Ensuring a capable vision system for •detection of boats and buoys in harsh weather conditions.
•Localization of detected objects
•Real time videoprocessing to reduce noiseWhat you will learn:
•Using vision system libraries such as YOLO and OpenCV.
•Use tools like MATLAB/Python/C++ libraries to process images
•Practical use of vision systems
•Working in a team
Electronic Systems Engineer
The USV electrical systems engineers will be responsible for developing all of the USV electrical systems and ensure that they are functioning. This involves the entire electrical system from the sensors, actuators and the computers involved within the USV is operational and ready to use.
Responsibility:
•Develop power management systems for efficient power conversion.
•Ensure operational electrical systems.
•Development of enclosures for electronicWhat you will learn:
•MCAD/ECAD (Fusion & Altium)
•Practical experience in developing PCB •containing integrated circuits.
•Experience of the systems required for •remotely operated vehicles.
•Troubleshooting of electronics and
Manipulator
This is a project in collaboration with a industry sponsor, where we will build an ROV module solves a real industrial challenge. Due to the project's interdisciplinary demands, this team requires the team members to work independently, whilst effectively communicating members in different technical fields. The project is comprised of 3 parts, the mechanical, electrical and software. each with distinct responsibilities.
Responsibility:
• Create a compact module that meets strict dimensional constraints and cuts steel underwater.
• Design the PCB and power electronics for a sealed actuator system.
• Development of software so the arm can effectively communicate with the ROV
What you will learn:
•Practical experience in PCB development
•3D modeling of a robotic arm
•ROS 2 for communication
•working in a interdisciplinary team
•A broader network in the maritime industry
Benefits
Work on a project you find interesting, alongside a team of dedicated students. Already this year, there will be people who take their bachelor in Sub-Horizon. There are also Social events, where we travel and compete in competitions, in addition to Sub-Horizon day.
You will have access to our facilities and equipment, and expenses related to the project will be covered by Sub-Horizon. You will also have a competetive edge in the job market, since you can use Sub-Horizon as a reference.
